This ambivalence has a strong influence on their relational decisions as they deal with contradictions between family ties, filial piety and lesbianism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on individual and couple interviews with self-identified lesbian couples in stable relationships, the book offers vivid narratives of different ways in which Taiwanese lesbians have been able to make sense of their families without recognition by legislation or their families of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecific issues in Taiwan raised in the book challenge the taken-for-granted understandings of same-sex relationships and review the dramatic transformations that have profoundly changed womens' position. It also offers a sensitive analysis of GLBTissues and heteronormativity, arguing that Chinese familialism can cohabite with lesbianism in the context of contemporary Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-07-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811040047\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-10-4005-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 285\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47693442089100,"sku":"9789811040047","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811040047_287c5a00-2707-4b73-907c-a04041982e2f.jpg?v=1776773408","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789811040047","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
